Mia Sara Says 1986 Ferris Bueller Shoot Was a Bad Experience With John Hughes

Mia Sara, 59, said making 1986's "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" was "not that good an experience" and that she did not get along with director John Hughes.
Sara told The Sunday Times Hughes was "a strange guy" whose push for the cast to bond frustrated her, while she said she lacked the emotional maturity then to handle others' egos and her own.
Her comments widened into a bleak assessment of acting itself: she said she never had the resilience for auditions, felt her career was largely unhappy, and later turned largely to writing poetry.
Still, Sara acknowledged the film's enduring pull nearly 40 years later, saying her children's friends still react when they realize she played Sloane Peterson in the teen-comedy hit.
